Laura Muir (handicap -2.7), who holds top spot on the National Ladder with the lowest female handicap score, showed she is a force to be reckoned with a gutsy performance in the 1500m at the IAAF World Championships in Beijing, China, yesterday whilst Jessica Ennis-Hill (handicap 11.0) produced a remarkable display to claim British Athletics' second gold medal at the Bird's Nest Stadium.

Mo Farah (handicap -7.7), who has been consistenly top of the National Ladder since June 2013, took his career tally to four world titles as the 32 year old won British Athletics' first gold medal in the 10,000m at the IAAF World Championships in Beijing, China.

It was a strong start for the British Athletics contingent in the opening session of the IAAF World Championships at the Bird's Nest Stadium, Beijing. National Ladder women's leader, Laura Muir (handicap -2.6) and Laura Weightman (handicap -2.2), who is third on the ladder, successively navigated their way through to tomorrow's 1500m semi-final. Muir came from the back in the initial stages before moving her way through the field to finish second in the first heat in 4:05.53. In the final of three heats, Weightman took the sixth automatic qualifying spot clocking 4:06.13 but felt the full force of a fall as she crossed the line.

The fourth race in the runbritain Grand Prix takes place on Sunday September 6th at the 30th edition of the Cardiff 10k. The race will also host an Inter-Area Match between the North of England, Midland Counties, UK Armed Forces and Wales.
